The disposition of the former Italian colonies, 1945-49
Yifru, Ketema
As the title of this thesis indicates, this work deals with the former Italian Colonies during the period of 1945-50. Economically speaking all three territories are of little value. Their importance lies in the strategic position they occupy. All three, Eritrea, Libya except for the Fezzan, and Italian Somaliland came under British Military Administration on or before 1943. In 1945 the Council of Foreign Ministers took up the problem, but due to disagreement among the Big Four (United Kingdom, United States of America, France and the Soviet Union), and due to the many and sometimes unfounded claims of some other nations, the problem of the Italian Colonies defied solution. Despite the initial failure, the Council of Foreign Ministers did not give up hope, but instead it kept on working on the problem till 1947 when the Big Four powers, in the Treaty of Peace with Italy, made the latter country renounce all rights and claims to its former possessions in Africa and at the same time agreed to hand over the problem to the United Nations General Assembly in case of failure to agree among themselves within one year of the coming into force of the Treaty of Peace with Italy.

A study of the effects of the war separation from the father on the problem child
Yaffe, Leonard
This study will proceed on the assumption that there
is a general recognition that the children who were separated
from their fathers during World war II suffered
more from the effects of the war than those children whose
fathers remained at home. The fathers who were in the service
brought about a disruption in family life which was
abnormal and damaging to the wholesome growth of the children
so that they did not have the best possible opportunities
for their emotional development.
The purpose of this study is to examine a group of
cases in treatment at the Worcester Youth Guidance Center
in which there was separation from the father involved to
see what relationship the absence of the father has to the
underlying problem. The group consists of thirty-five
children who have been treated some time between January 1,
1949, am December 31, 1951. It is possible that many of
these cases are still in treatment. The effect of the absence
of the father on the mother and on the environment
would also have some bearing on the problem of the child,
so these factors will also be considered.

A comparative study of the family recreational activities before and after television
White, Walter Patrick
There have been many contrasting statements
as to the helpful or destructive force television has on many families,
but, because television is in its infant stages, sufficient research
is lacking to produce conclusive evidence. This investigation is an
attempt to discover the various forms of recreational activities in which
the family participated before television and to find out whether or not
the family participation in activities is less, just as much, or more
after television.

Conductivity of organic solutes in liquid sulfur dioxide. Part I. Anthracene, trinitrobenzene and their equimolecular complex. Part II. Triphenylcarbinol
White, June Doris
It hae been proposed in the literature (18) that complexes between aromatic nitro compounds and aromatic bfdrocarbons are the reeult of an electron transfer from the hydrocarbon to the nitro compound with the resultant formation of ions. The conductivity of such a complex, that between anthracene and trinitrobenzene, was measured in liquid sulfur dioxide to teat this hypothesis. The conductivity of the complex was found to be the sum of the two components, which indicated no ions present in solution and pointed to the non-existence of the complex in solution. Spectral work done by R. W. Weston (20) supports the contention that the complex does not exist in solution. Ultraviolet absorption spectrum of the complex in liquid sulfur dioxide was the sum of the spectra of the two components.
The conductivity of triphenylcarbinol was measured in liquid sulfur dioxide in a concentration range of 200-195,000 liters per mole. With magnesium perchlorate as the drying agent in the gas train a drift at the initial concentration, as well as lower conductivities at the higher concentrations was noted, in contrast to the work of Glazer (3). With OaOl2 as the drying agent, no drift was observed, and conductivity values were in general agreement with those of Glazer. A possible mechanism for the observed results has been suggested.

Evaluative criteria for spelling
White, Adele G.
The purpose of this study is to develop a set of criteria
to evaluate the spelling area of an elementary school.
The criteria consists of specific statements indicating
desirable conditions and procedures in certain areas of the
elementary school program. SUch statements should furnish a
means for teachers to examine and evaluate the effectiveness
of their own work.
The Evaluative Criteria, an instrument by which a secondary
school can be evaluated through making a self-evaluation,
was developed by the Cooperative Study of Secondary-School
Standards in 19~0 and revised in 1950.
These criteria have been used extensively and successfully
throughout the United States. Because it has been
proved through use of the instrument that self-evaluation
leads to improvement, it seemed pertinent to develop similar
instrument by which an elementary school can be evaluated.

This study attempts to develop a data gathering device
to identify significant characteristics of the elementary
school pupil population and school community to provide a
basis for evaluating the elementary school.
Probably the best known example of an instrument
used to evaluate a school has been accomplished in the
secondary field. The Cooperative Study of Secondary School
Standards was organized in 1933 by representatives appointed
by the six regional associations of the United States.

Analysis of mental imagery of third grade children (in contrast to their comprehension of the same stories)
Wagner, Mary Ellen
The purpose of this study was to determine the
relationship of mental imagery to reading comprehension
of third grade children. The paragraphs used for the
imagery study were taken from the stories tested for
reading comprehension.
Throughout this study, mental imagery shall be
considered to be an image which a child reports after
hearing the paragraphs read to him by the examiner.
During the testing period there is an opportunity for
the child to report the images he perceives, whether
it be of a visual, auditory, gustatory, olfactory, or
kinaesthetic nature.

It is the purpose of this study to list the quantitative
concepts that occur in selected reading and content-subject
third-grade textbooks and to determine the frequency of
their occurrence.
There were several reasons for the selection of the above
topic: 1. the continuing trend in education toward closer
correlation (of. such terms as unit, fusion, integration,
etc.); 2. the increasing emphasis upon the importance of
meanings, understandings, and concepts (of. such phrases,
especially, as concept of number, concept of words, concept
of processes, concept of skills, etc.); and 3. the suggestions,
in articles (especially those 1n research periodicals) that
indicate the need for new research concerning quantitative
concepts and the teaching of such concepts.
